Execution and Raid Setup

On this fight there is a soft enrage to kill the boss before you run out of space because of Enchanted Armaments. You will also want enough damage to kill the Cinder Wolves before the Firestorm but preferably a lot earlier than it.

Strategy

You will want to engage the boss with the raid already spread out as much as possible, starting on the very far edge of the room in a half circle around the boss. Tank the boss at the skull marker and have the raid stand spread, something like on this picture, depending on how many ranged you have. As the fight progresses more Enchanted Armaments will spawn and you will need to move closer and closer to the boss, so best to spawn them far away first.

Use bloodlust on the pull and have everyone focus on killing Aknor Steelbringer as quick as possible, it's important that he dies in a few seconds. You don't want him running around, he will kill your raid.

After he is dead, it's time to kill the boss.

From 0 -> 25 energy the fight is somewhat relaxed, but take this time to put as much damage into the boss as possible.

At 25 energy Ka'graz will put Molten Torrents on your raid, have them run into melee range of the boss to get help from melees and tank to mitigate it. It's important that you position yourself exactly inside the boss so that you are sure that you have enough people to help you soak it. This will repeat from 25 -> 50 energy.

After, when the energy reaches 50, the difficult part of the fight begins, the Cinder Wolves. Here you will want people with Fixate to move into the boss, you want all the wolves to be stacked up, so that you efficiently can AoE them down. If you use a shaman then it's a good idea to use a Spirit Link Totem here since the people with Fixate will require some extra healing. But it's worth it so you can kill them off quickly. If you don't have a shaman, then you can replace it with another cooldown instead. But make sure you have something saved for the Firestorm.

At 75 energy she will cast Blazing Radiance on random targets. It's not a difficult ability, just make sure that the raid is spread out properly. And if you have Blazing Radiance during the Firestorm it's very important that you don't move into the boss together with the raid.

At 100 energy, she will perform the Firestorm. You will want the entire raid to move onto the boss to make healing easier, you should use the free cooldowns you have here. But make sure you still have something left for the 2nd Firestorm. If you used a cooldown for the 1st Cinder Wolves they will be up for the 2nd Firestorm!

After performing Firestorm, her energy will reset to 0 and it's a repeat from the start.

As a tank you want to take 5 stacks each of the debuff and then switch.

Make sure you balance your raid cooldowns properly, have something for each Cinder Wolves and for each Firestorm and you will soon bring down this encounter.
